Reds rookie sensation Elly De La Cruz added to the buzz surrounding his name on Saturday with a bold claim after logging another highlight courtesy of the dazzling speed that’s already become a staple of his game.
The Reds’ 8–4 road win over the Cardinals featured a show-stealing play from De La Cruz in the top of the seventh inning. After reaching on a fielder’s choice in his fourth at-bat, De La Cruz anticipated his next move as Spencer Steer stepped to the plate.
De La Cruz took off like a rocket on Steer’s two-run double to center, sprinting from first to home in 11.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson became the latest skipper to end up embroiled in a controversy surrounding MLB’s new pitch clock rules on Saturday, leading to his rather rapid ejection during a game against the Dodgers.
In the sixth inning of Philadelphia’s 9–0 loss to Los Angeles, Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola absent-mindedly tossed a baseball that he had no interest in throwing over to the dugout. Home plate umpire Roberto Ortiz and crew chief Bill Miller objected to Nola’s request to swap out the ball, much to the confusion of the Phillies ace.

Michigan running back Donovan Edwards rushed for 991 yards and seven touchdowns last fall while splitting carries with Blake Corum. Those are impressive numbers, especially considering he was playing in a timeshare.
What’s more impressive is that he churned for nearly 1,000 yards while playing through a significant injury.
Most already knew that Edwards injured his hand in a November win over Nebraska, requiring two screws and a cast.
The Florida Panthers are looking to even the Stanley Cup Final at 2-2 by winning Game 4, and Brooks Koepka was there to fire up the crowd.
He also did it while wearing an Aaron Ekblad jersey which is hilarious given their recent history.
The reigning PGA Championship winner was given the high honor of wailing on the Panthers’ giant taiko drum before the game. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel did the same thing earlier in the postseason.

There was no Triple Crown winner this year, but history was still made at the Belmont
When Mage, the winner of the 2023 Kentucky Derby, fell short in the Preakness, it meant that there would not be a Triple Crown winner this horse racing season.
However, history was still made at Saturday’s Belmont Stakes.
Arcangelo, who did not run at either the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, came home the winner at the Belmont Stakes.
The eight College World Series participants will be decided this weekend in the NCAA Baseball Tournament Super Regionals.
Serbia is having a moment on the global sports stage and it’s all thanks to two dudes: Novak Djokovic and Nikola Jokic.
Both of them are on the verge of taking massive wins in their respective sports. Jokic and his Denver Nuggets teammates are just one win away from winning an NBA Championship.
On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Djokovic is just one win away from winning the French Open for the third time and breaking the record for the most men’s Grand Slam titles with 23.

After working to mend fences with the Lions in recent years, Calvin Johnson recently expressed his desire to offer support to one of the team’s budding receivers amid his ongoing troubles off the field.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer spent time this past week visiting Detroit’s minicamp, where he met with second-year wideout Jameson Williams. The 2022 first-round pick has been practicing with the team this offseason, though he won’t take the field until Week 7 after receiving a six-game suspension in April for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.
Arcangelo won the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
With the victory, Jena Antonucci became the first female trainer ever to win a Triple Crown race, 50 years and one day after Secretariat’s 31-length victory that still is a record today.
Bob Baffert’s National Treasure, the winner of the Preakness Stakes three weeks ago, led for the large majority of the race, but on the final turn, Arcangelo snuck into the lead from the inside, and never relinquished the lead on the final stretch.
